Trivia

The former Coffee Primo lounge, built as a Little Chef.

The northbound Days Inn hotel was closed for a few months in 2007 after the ground floor flooded.

The southbound Starbucks gained a Drive Thru on 20 December 2013. This is one of 4 Welcome Break sites with a Starbucks Drive Thru. For a fairly new service station the exit slips are surprisingly short.

In 2000 a swan made of quartz chips was put in place in at the entrance to the southbound services, with a flowerbed reading 'Welcome to Warwick'. The swan was based on (but different to that of) the old Welcome Break logo, although it hasn't been seen for quite a few years.

The services originally consisted of two competing plans: one by the Department for Transport and the other by Mobil. Mobil would have included a vehicular bridge at the services, while the DfT considered building a footbridge and later dropped it.

Harry Ramsden's opened here on the northbound side on 12 March 2015 with Subway opening on the northbound side a day later on 13 March 2015. Harry Ramsden's, Subway and Tossed also opened on the southbound side on 19 March 2015. All of these outlets are replacing the former Eat In/Papa John's Pizza combination outlets on both sides.

Survey Results

In May 2012 and August 2011 the services were rated as 3 stars by Visit England, who said they had the best toilets.

In 2008 the services won a five star loo award.

In 2006 and again in 2007, the northbound services won a five star loo award and the southbound services won a four star one.
